If I remember my history correctly they were put there in exchange for large quantities of soup that the people of waterford took during the famine.
Ouch!!!:bowl:lol

Well played LITD, classic fishing.
Do Waterford have a website now? Waterford-united.ie is apparently gone - is there a new url?
It doesn’t seem so, they are using facebook and twitter thoughQuote:

It's strange that there isn't a "coming soon" page at waterfordfc.ie with the old united one redirecting to it. If you go to all that trouble of rebranding and getting a "new" crest it'd be strange if the website was overlooked.
